Windstar unveils new renovation renderings

Windstar Cruises has unveiled renderings for Wind Star and Wind Spirit renovations, which can be viewed at http://blog.windstarcruises.com . The renovations are part of Windstar’s previously announced $18 million fleet refurbishment plan. The vision for the renovations is classic, stylish yacht luxury that dramatizes Windstar’s brand position of a “boutique yacht vacation”that is “180 Degrees from Ordinary.”Each yacht will receive new furniture, upholstery, art, lighting, wall coverings, carpeting, ceiling finishes, window treatments and floor coverings. New furnishings will complete the look in keeping with the chic, private yacht scheme. All three yachts will be completely refurbished by December starting with the Wind Star on April 29 as it begins its European season. Upgrades to the staterooms and suites are a special focus of the fleet refurbishment plan. This past December, as part of the refurbishment plan, Wind Surf’s accommodations and corridors were renovated. All public spaces on the Wind Star will also be renovated for the start of the 2012 European season, including The Restaurant, Veranda, Lounge, Pool Bar, Library, and WindSpa. Wind Spirit’s and Wind Surf’s public spaces will be refurbished in November before the start of their December Caribbean seasons with Wind Spirit receiving the same public space refurbishments as Wind Star. Wind Surf’s renovation encompasses the Lounge, The Restaurant, Degrees, Veranda, Compass Rose, WindSpa, Yacht Club and Pool Bar.
